We're dividing 54724039 by 159 
We want to divide 54724039 by 159.

Moving on to step 1:
159 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 159

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 54 by 159, we get 0 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 54, we get 54.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 547 / 159

Moving on to step 3:
159 can be fit into 547 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 477 from 547 and we're left with 70.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 702 / 159

Step 4:
702 divided by 159 is 4 with a remainder of 66.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we subtract 636 from 702, we get 66.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 664 / 159

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 159 fits into 664 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 344.0
Subtracting 636 from 664 leaves us with 28.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 280 / 159

On to step 6:
If we divide 280 by 159, we get 1 and a remainder of 121.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3441.0
If we subtract 159 from 280, we get 121.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 121 and continue with: 1213 / 159

Let's proceed to step 7:
159 can be fit into 1213 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 100.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34417.0
Deduct 1113 from 1213 and we're left with 100.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 100 and continue: 1009 / 159

Moving on to step 8:
1009 divided by 159 is 6 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 344176.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 954 from 1009.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
159 can be fit into 550 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 344176.3
Subtract 477 from 550 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 730 by 159, we get 4 and a remainder of 94.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 344176.34
If we take 636 away from 730, we end up with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 940 by 159, we get 5 and a remainder of 145.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 344176.345
Deduct 795 from 940 and we're left with 145.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
159 can be fit into 1450 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 344176.3459
Subtracting 1431 from 1450 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
159 can be fit into 190 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 344176.34591
If we subtract 159 from 190, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
310 divided by 159 is 1 with a remainder of 151.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 344176.345911
If we take 159 away from 310, we end up with 151.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1510, and continue the process.

The final result is 344176.345911 with a remainder of 1.51e-05.
